Lyrics

I was a sailor
I was lost at sea
I was under the waves
Before love rescued me
I was a fighter
I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused
Of the things I've said
Love comes to town
I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town
I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong
To ever let you down
But I did what I did
Before love came to town
Used to make love
Under a red sunset
I was making promises
I was soon to forget
She was pale as the lace
Of her wedding gown
But I left her standing
Before love came to town
Ran into a juke joint
When I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue
I was dazing in a dream
As the music played
I saw my life turn around
That was the day
Before love came to town
When love comes to town
I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town
I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong
To ever let you down
But I did what I did
Before love came to town
When love comes to town
I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town
I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong
To ever let you down
But I did what I did
Before love came to town
I was there when
They crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard
When the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice
When they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer
The great divide
When love comes to town
I'm gonna catch that train
When love comes to town
I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong
To ever let you down
But I did what I did
Before love came to town
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
